黑人学生在物理课程中的比例偏低，仅占2020/21年度英国高等教育物理课程学生的2%。相比之下，英格兰和威尔士18-34岁的人中约有4%是黑人，这表明这一群体在物理学领域的代表性严重不足。现在是积极主动的方案的时候了，为黑人传统青年及其父母/照顾者和家庭创造空间，与有影响力的科学和科学家接触。EMPower牛津是一个与科学提供者和社区组织合作的开创性项目，它将做到这一点。EMPower牛津将建立在我们现有的专业知识基础上，让服务不足的社区参与进来，并扩大对物理和相关学科的参与。通过与年轻人及其家人合作，让他们有很大的权力决定自己的未来，我们将帮助他们做出明智的选择，使他们能够从事科学和技术事业。在整个节目中展示的这项研究的主题将是“用科学和技术看得更深”。这将使我们能够突出(1)开放式研究之间的联系，例如大型强子对撞机的ATLAS实验和大型天气观测望远镜，(2)以应用为重点的技术，如MediPix4医学成像探测器，来自该开放式研究，以及(3)使我们能够更深入地研究构成我们世界的惊人材料的大大小小的设施。该计划的目标涵盖科学、技术、职业和创造力。赋权牛津大学将允许来自英国社会经济最贫困地区的黑人血统的年轻人：1.通过第一手体验，探索我们如何利用科学和技术看得更深：a.用大望远镜探索宇宙的最大尺度和遥远的范围；b.大型设施，如卢瑟福·阿普尔顿实验室(Ral)的那些设施，以最小的尺度了解令人惊叹的新材料。牛津实验室和车间开发的技术，用于研究欧洲核子研究中心的最小粒子。大数据和计算，以收集、分析和模拟在尖端物理研究中产生的海量数据，例如欧洲核子研究中心的数据。在真实实验室的实践工作坊中培养科学技能3.了解开放式研究和行业导向研究给社会带来的好处。考虑在STEM寻求职业生涯，提供机会与各种不同角色的人建立联系，这些人已经选择了各种不同的职业道路，在这个由STFC支持的令人兴奋的科学领域工作。5.发展创意媒体，帮助巩固他们所学到的知识，并与家人分享他们的理解，对他们的贡献感到满意。通过实现这些目标，该方案将使年轻的黑人学生能够在对STFC支持的科学、科学家和技术有更深的理解和欣赏的情况下做出决定。因此，Empower Oxford正在支持一项长期目标，即增加在STEM学习和工作的黑人传统人数。

Black students are under-represented in physics, making up just 2% of students on UK higher education physics courses in 2020/21. For comparison, approximately 4% of people in England and Wales aged 18-34 are Black, demonstrating a severe under-representation of this community in physics. It is high time for proactive programmes that create space for young people of Black heritage, along with their parents/carers and families, to engage with impactful science and scientists. EMPower Oxford, a pioneering programme run in collaboration with science providers and community organisations, will do just that.EMPower Oxford will build upon our existing expertise in engaging under-served communities and widening participation in physics and associated disciplines. By working with young people and their families at a point at which they are given a lot of power to decide their future, we will help them make informed choices that can enable them to pursue careers in science and technology. The theme of the research showcased across the programme will be "seeing deeper with science and technology". This will allow us to highlight connections between (1) open-ended research, such as the LHC's ATLAS experiment and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, (2) application-focussed technologies such as Medipix4 medical imaging detectors, which stem from that open-ended research, and (3) the facilities both large and small that allow us to delve deeper into the amazing materials that make up our world.The programme has aims spanning science, technology, careers and creativity. EMPower Oxford will allow young people of Black heritage from the most socio-economically deprived areas of the UK, to:1. Explore, through first-hand experiences, how we can see deeper with science and technology using: a. Big telescopes to explore the largest scales and far reaches of the universe b. Large facilities, such as those at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), to understand amazing new materials at the smallest scalesc. Technology developed in Oxford labs and workshops to study the smallest particles at CERN d. Big Data and computing to collect, analyse and model the huge amount of data generated in cutting-edge physics research such as that at CERN.2. Develop scientific skills in hands-on workshops in real labs 3. Understand benefits to society brought by both open-ended and industry-directed research.4. Consider pursuing a career in STEM by providing an opportunity to connect with people in a range of different roles, who have taken a variety of different career paths, to work in this exciting STFC-enabled science. 5. Develop creative media to help consolidate what they have learnt and share their understanding with their families, feeling satisfied with their contribution. Through the achievement of these goals, the programme will empower young Black students to make decisions informed by a deeper understanding and appreciation of STFC-enabled science, scientists and technology. Thus EMPower Oxford is supporting a long-term goal of increasing the number of people of Black heritage studying and working in STEM.
